Looks good to me. Can we get a round of testing from @jordwalke or @bryphe
Awesome! Thanks @diml and @rgrinberg . I'll test it out on |

I tested this feature this morning on a WIndows machine by lowering the limit and it seems to work well. We can assume that this PR is correct. |
Thanks @diml for your work on this! |
Thank you @diml! |
CHANGES: - Ignore stderr output when trying to find out the number of jobs available (ocaml/dune#1118, fix ocaml/dune#1116, @diml) - Fix error message when the source directory of `copy_files` does not exist. (ocaml/dune#1120, fix ocaml/dune#1099, @emillon) - Highlight error locations in error messages (ocaml/dune#1121, @emillon) - Display actual stanza when package is ambiguous (ocaml/dune#1126, fix ocaml/dune#1123, @emillon) - Add `dune unstable-fmt` to format `dune` files. The interface and syntax are still subject to change, so use with caution. (ocaml/dune#1130, fix ocaml/dune#940, @emillon) - Improve error message for `dune utop` without a library name (ocaml/dune#1154, fix ocaml/dune#1149, @emillon) - Fix parsing `ocamllex` stanza in jbuild files (ocaml/dune#1150, @rgrinberg) - Highlight multi-line errors (ocaml/dune#1131, @anuragsoni) - Do no try to generate shared libraries when this is not supported by the OS (ocaml/dune#1165, fix ocaml/dune#1051, @diml) - Fix `Flags.write_{sexp,lines}` in configurator by avoiding the use of `Stdune.Path` (ocaml/dune#1175, fix ocaml/dune#1161, @rgrinberg) - Add support for `findlib.dynload`: when linking an executable using `findlib.dynload`, automatically record linked in libraries and findlib predicates (ocaml/dune#1172, @bobot) - Add support for promoting a selected list of files (ocaml/dune#1192, @diml) - Add an emacs mode providing helpers to promote correction files (ocaml/dune#1192, @diml) - Improve message suggesting to remove parentheses (ocaml/dune#1196, fix ocaml/dune#1173, @emillon) - Add `(wrapped (transition "..message.."))` as an option that will generate wrapped modules but keep unwrapped modules with a deprecation message to preserve compatibility. (ocaml/dune#1188, fix ocaml/dune#985, @rgrinberg) - Fix the flags passed to the ppx rewriter when using `staged_pps` (ocaml/dune#1218, @diml) - Add `(env var)` to add a dependency to an environment variable. (ocaml/dune#1186, @emillon) - Add a simple version of a polling mode: `dune build -w` keeps running and restarts the build when something change on the filesystem (ocaml/dune#1140, @kodek16) - Cleanup the way we detect the library search path. We no longer call `opam config var lib` in the default build context (ocaml/dune#1226, @diml) - Make test stanzas honor the -p flag. (ocaml/dune#1236, fix ocaml/dune#1231, @emillon) - Test stanzas take an optional (action) field to customize how they run (ocaml/dune#1248, ocaml/dune#1195, @emillon) - Add support for private modules via the `private_modules` field (ocaml/dune#1241, fix ocaml/dune#427, @rgrinberg) - Add support for passing arguments to the OCaml compiler via a response file when the list of arguments is too long (ocaml/dune#1256, @diml) - Do not print diffs by default when running inside dune (ocaml/dune#1260, @diml) - Interpret `$ dune build dir` as building the default alias in `dir`. (ocaml/dune#1259, @rgrinberg) - Make the `dynlink` library available without findlib installed (ocaml/dune#1270, fix ocaml/dune#1264, @rgrinberg)
No problem, happy to help improve Windows support! |
This PR adds support for passing arguments to the OCaml compiler via a response file when the list of arguments is too long. This is to bypass the low command line length limit of Windows.
Implementation
This PR adds global registry indicating whether programs support response files. It is filled while creating the context. It's not the cleanest way to do it, but it is a simple way to cut through all the layers and make sure the response file is used consistently.
A possible improve would be to add a type
Program.t
that would store the program path and whether it supports a response file, and then use this type instead ofPath.t
in the various places.
